the deep blue
while i was driving today, i noticed that the mountains in the distance were a deep blue. i suppose they always look that way, or just on cloudy days, but i never noticed it before.
"there's so much beauty in the world. sometimes i feel like i'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst..."
some days, i feel that way. i see it, and it's like being a toddler again. most of the time, i don't. why is this feeling not sustainable? is it true we can't experience happiness without having known sadness? why do we yearn for depth and justification? what is there to fend against complacency and taking our lives for granted?
